Murphy James - - Primaries

Summary:
On Tuesday, April 22, Hilary Clinton stood face to face with loss. However, with 10 votes, Mrs. Clinton beat Mr. Obama in the Pennsylvania primary, a big general election state. But what exactly could this be implying about the democratic party? Could race be an issue here? Some are certain that it is, people such as David Axelrod, Obama's senior political adviser. Obama is not necessarily the favorite around blue-collared workers, old voters, or white voters. So, race as well as platform seem to be greatly hindering Senator Barack Obama.

Opinion:
Honestly, I think that people have to start looking beyond the race and gender bit. They are clearly serious enough to have gotten this far, so why not listen to what they are actually saying, instead of how they look? And democrats! Really? A party that is so hell-bent on bringing social wellfare and financial aid to the needy can't look beyond race? Next will we only be helping the white people? Or the males? It's 2008. I would really like to live in a world, or at least COUNTRY, that is race and gender prejudice free. We're the United States. Like it or not, the world watches our every move.
